COMMENTS

The Kinetic Platinum is so clean through the fronts of the lanes and provides a strong flip motion on the backend once it sees friction.  If you are looking for a transition ball on house patterns and sports patterns, the Kinetic Platinum is the ball for it, you will not be disappointed.

Kinetic Platinum – Various sport and house patterns

Pin above bridge, MB between thumb and VAL Positive Axis Point 4 3/8 right 1/2 up.

Out of the box the Kinetic Platinum has plenty of movement through the front part of the lane, and even more in the back part of the lane.  The Kinetic Platinum is reliable you know exactly what you are getting once you get the ball off your hand.  I used the Kinetic Platinum in tournament play (modified house, and sport patterns) when the backend is clean and or if the pattern is a little on the medium to short side it will pick up and never quit.  That is not a bad thing depending how well you know your game.  If the volume is a little higher or the back end is not as clean the Kinetic Platinum will tend to skid a little more (this is a delayed cover so that shouldn’t be a surprise).  I added surface (dry 2000) to the Kinetic Platinum the backend reaction was a lot smoother however, I couldn’t get it to go through the pins like I was seeing with the box surface.  If you want a reliable bowling ball I think the Kinetic Platinum is a solid option.
